The Top Spray Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves an important role on the upper rack, directing a spray of water across dishes during the wash cycle to thoroughly clean all surfaces. As a rotating component, the top spray arm endures constant motion which can cause wear over time.
Causes of a bad top spray arm include deterioration or cracks in the plastic from extended use, or blockages that restrict water flow.
Symptoms of a bad top spray arm include:
- Incomplete cleaning of upper rack dishes
- Buildup of food debris or grime that won't rinse away
- Noticeably weaker spray pattern from the arm nozzles
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
